You can change this pretty easily in the theme.  If you look under 
/usr/share/mythtv/themes/{Theme You Are Using}, and open the ui.xml 
file.  Look for:

    <font name="{each font you want to change}" base="info">
      <size>15</size>
      <size:small>12</size:small>
      <size:big>17</size:big>
    </font>

And change the size.  Depending on the them you are using you may have 
to change several different locations.  You will also need to experiment 
a little to make sure things line up correctly.  The nice thing is once 
you make a change to a specific screen, you can exit the screen and come 
back and the changes are in affect.
